Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance claimed that he and his running mate have “never once” criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ voters — while at the same time insinuating Harris is “trash” that needs to be taken out and arguing Donald Trump will be “the president for all of us.”
“While I think it’s ridiculous that Kamala Harris calls us garbage, I do think that in four days we ought to take out the trash in Washington, DC and that is Kamala Harris and her failed leadership,” Vance said at an event in Selma, North Carolina.
“As much as Donald Trump wants — will criticize Kamala Harris, and as much as he’ll point out that her policies have been a failure, I’m proud to say that not once has me or President Trump attacked Kamala Harris’s voters. Never once,” Vance said.
Throughout his campaign, Trump has said that certain groups of voters, including Jewish Americans, Catholics, African Americans and Hispanic Americans should have their heads examined if they vote for Democrats. Trump has also referred to certain top Democratic leaders as the “enemy from within,” as well as “radical left lunatics” who may riot if he wins the 2024 election.
Vance falsely stated that Harris called Trump supporters “garbage,” when it was President Biden who made the comment earlier this week, quickly setting off backlash from Republicans. Biden said that he was speaking only of “hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally.”
